  1. I am a critical care (CCRN certified) nurse.
  2. 2012 NCP Graduates, any news about ODS?

    If you guys have any questions about ODS, feel free. I just went in September.
  3. Commissioning Question

    A lot of this has to do with timing. Theoretically, your recruiter should have put your name on the scroll at the beginning of your application process, because scroll and security clearance take the longest to do. I think my scroll took about 6 mont...
  4. I'm a navy nurse and have a question

    Don't do it. Certain commands have a zero tolerance policy for this....even if you're not attached to the same command/ship/workspace.
  5. Physical Exam at ODS

    It isn't a physical at all. All you will have done is prenancy test if female, titers drawn, you may get some immunizations, drug test and height/weight.
  6. I can only speak from my experience. My packet went to board around 20 July. I didn't hear back for almost 10 days, then I waited another 2 weeks for orders, and then 3 more weeks until I went to ODS.
  7. Current Army ROTC Nursing Student

    ACTUALLY...this can happen, and is what almost happened to me. I had a 3.5 year ROTC scholarship and my MS3 year (Junior) they told me that the only position they had open for me was in the national guard. (Keep in mind, this wasn't due to my GPA, I ...
  8. BSN Graduate planning to enter US Navy

    What is this requirement, just out of curiosity....? Are you a US citizen? Your english isn't so great.
  9. Direct Commission into Navy Nurse Corps

    Honestly, working in the civilian side before coming in can only benefit you. All the new grads I started have to deal with so much, not only learning how to be in the military but also how to be a nurse too... Thanks!
  10. Direct Commission into Navy Nurse Corps

    I meant 8 months from the first call I made to my recruiter until the time I went to ODS. I first called my recruiter in January to start the application process and went to ODS in September. I went to board July 21 and had orders Aug 18, commissione...
  11. Direct Commission into Navy Nurse Corps

    Perhaps. Because it is the beginning of the fiscal year, money is available and they pick people up. However don't get too anxious. I would say the median time from initial contact with recruiter to ODS is generally 6 months to a year. Mine was 8 mon...
  12. Navy Nurse Corp Info

    If you really want to join the military and gain life experience, go Active. The Reserves isn't going to do anything for you except keep you near your family and some extra cash in your pocket. Just my two cents.
  13. Anyone recently graduating from ODS

    My board met in late July, and I think I heard back the first week of August. They can't officially tell you until your commission is signed off on, which takes about 7 working days to go up to BUPERS, etc. I did my household goods move before I lef...
  14. General Navy Interview question

    I did one, on the phone, with a LCDR and a CAPT.
  15. Direct Commission into Navy Nurse Corps

    I do think it would make a difference. It would put you head and shoulders above your peers. The Navy is trying to bring in experienced, certified nurses now due to the downsizing taking place. That, and Critical Care and ER nurses are the most highl...
